Reminders For Those Who Wish To Make Hip Hop Songs At Home

By Robert Gambillody


Many individuals nowadays, specifically adolescents and those in their 20s to 30s, love to listen and even make hip hop songs with rapping. With current computer technology and the number and many types of specialized music composition software and MIDI gadgets on the market, you can now make, edit, and upload your own songs as if you have your very own studio in your house. Many of these music composition software can be had for free, although understandably their set of features may not be as wide-ranging as those of paid versions. The good thing is, most of the music production applications you can find today can be tested free of charge for a few weeks to a month as a demo version so you can assess whether it is something that suits your needs and preferences.

If you require hip hop or rap instrumentals to use in your own tracks, the Web is a good place to start looking for them. Keep in mind that you should look at the license for a beat before working with it. Unless the beats or instrumental music you wish to use are expressly made available as royalty-free, it is unlawful to use them. The good news is that a lot of hip hop producers permit you to download their beats for free, and even let you do anything you wish to do with their tunes , you just have to make sure that you acknowledge them for their contribution.

Others on the other hand may require a fee before you can save the beats and instrumentals. You can also come across people who are not keen on allowing their beats be used for commercial purposes.

There are plenty of websites where you could download these hip hop beats. A number of hip hop talents both up-and-coming and recognized share their productions on these websites. You can listen to streaming audio on these websites, and much of these files are downloadable in high quality format. If the beat or instrumental music you want to use can't be downloaded, consider sending an email to the one who created it to ask if you can use it. Most of the time, they will be thrilled to give you the file. You can also use these websites to upload your own tracks so that you can get comments from other members so you can also improve your skills.

Make sure that you fully give respect to the intellectual property of other people. If you plan to sell your beat, be sure to secure permission of any artist whose samples are included in your work. If you end up generating revenue from a beat or instrumental music you used without permission, you could be sued.
